Speaking to the Emirates News Agency, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that China wants to work with the UAE to produce vaccines against Covid-19 at an affordable price.
“We will accelerate joint production of vaccines, so as to make greater contributions to make vaccines available and affordable to the world,” Wang added, at the start of a two-day official visit to the UAE as part of a tour in the region.
The UAE was the first country to introduce the Chinese “Sinopharm” vaccine in December 2020, as it confirmed that it had proven effective by 86 percent, based on the results of the last phase of clinical tests.
Wang arrived in the UAE from Tehran, where he signed an important 25-year cooperation agreement with his Iranian counterpart.
